BWA mem reference genome index

Question

[Maka]

hi...I am trying to run the Chip-Seq analysis pipeline...

bwa mem2 for reference genome GRCm39 download from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCF_000001635.27 as .fna (genbank)

 #index genome

 cd /media/j/Data/BWA-MEM2
bwa-mem2-2.0pre2_x64-linux/bwa-mem2 index "/media/j/Data/reference_genome/GCA_000001635.9_GRCm39_genomic.fna"

output

As far as I understood, it is a problem of memory, but I checked and should have enough space (8T)

Any suggestions? thanks in advance!

Disk space is not memory, and no or barely any machine in the world has 8T of memory. Type free -hm to learn how much memory you have.

sorry, I misunderstood! so I checked it and it is a total mem 62G...

you have 8Tb of memory in your server? I think you might be confusing it with storage/disk space .

can you add/post the specs of the server/laptop/pc you are trying to run this on?
